38. A Day In The Life Of A Prisoner In The WORST Soviet Gulag Camps | A Day In History
History is truthechoed through the hallways of time, breathing in the memories of many, livingon in through the shape of presentday society which it has chiseled, the past resonating in the present. History contains the experiences of many, it is our stories – the essence of which make us human. Today we will be going on a journey, back into the Gulag of the Soviet Union, we will allow the prisoners of the Gulag to speak to us, to help us understand their plight.The GULAG is an acronym in Russian, which when translated into English means “ChiefAdministration of Corrective Labour Camps”. The Gulag consisted of a network of hundreds of labour camps and prisons, whose inmates were political prisoners of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until the mid1950s. These camps can be compared in some ways to the Nazi Concentration Camps of the Second World War. Over the years of the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, these camps housed millions of prisoners, an estimate of 40 – 50 million from 1928 – 1953. Each of the hundreds of camps contained around 2000 – 10 000 prisoners.These inmates were imprisoned for a wide variety of reasons. Some were true criminals whowere imprisoned for the crimes they had committed, some were completely innocent, the victims of Stalin’s Great Purge (where he got rid of anyone who challenged his dictatorship). Often family members of those who challenged Stalin were also imprisoned. Many individuals were simply picked up by the Secret Police and were imprisoned without any trial or sentencing.#gulag #history #stalin #sovietgulag #gulagcampDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
